During one of the vids released by Breyer one of the hosts mentioned that this year’s Surprise is on a Moody mold & since BGB is the Volunteer model the front runner is now SJustadream/Oasis. Lots of head & tail variations for that mold so it would make a good choice.
I am leaning towards Ruffian because: last year it was announced that Ruffian would be moved and reburied at Claiborne along side Secretariat, making it possible to see her grave while at BF. Also Claiborne just announced a Life of Ruffian tour they have started that starts with her as a foal , carries through her career and tragic end, with the new burial and headstone. Plus the "Runs the World" title lends itself to the idea of a "running" mold -- though that may be too obvious. And Breyer has certainly shot down the obvious before, just to keep us guessing! And a colorway of the "Surprise" logo on Ruffian would look fantastic!
Feels a little bleak, the story of a mare run till she died ("whose grave you can visit, kids!") to use on a fluffy "girl power" event attended by a lot of horse crazy children and horse savvy adults. Especially after 12 horses died on Derby Day alone last year - and basically nothing has been done about it. I think people would be pretty ticked if they featured racing like that. I do like the mold, though I agree with the OP that it having a stand hurts its chances.
@@stellangios all good points, but, to clarify a statement: "People also ask How many horses died in the 2023 Kentucky Derby? The 2023 Kentucky Derby was marred by the death of 12 horses at Churchill Downs in the days before and after the race, leading to an investigation searching for answers behind the widespread deaths." They did not all die on that day, but even one horse dying is too many. Fortunately this year turned out much better. We will see what this Saturday brings....
Ughhhh if they use Wyatt I’ll cry 😭 my complete obtainable conga will be ruined! 🤣 but I do remember someone on Facebook saying they were suspicious at the lack of stock horses in the BF model line up this year… which makes any stock horse mold maybe a stronger possibility of happening?? I honestly would not be surprised if weather girl makes an appearance for us. I really think Breyer has a strong possibility of throwing a curve ball our way this year and released Picante to throw us all off! Butttt. My gut is still really leaning towards the Arabian mare/oasis! I couldn’t tell you why, but I just think she would be a really cool surprise model!
I love watching these, even though I have no skin in the game, lol! ❤ I hope it’ll be the Connemara mare, tbh. Idk about Weather Girl, she has balance issues, or she did? It’s one of those rare molds I got back in the day that I was so disappointed with I returned it. Flimsy and didn’t stand up. Maybe they fixed her… idk, I’m not sure at all in general but I think it’ll be a traditionally mare mold. Just guessing tho….
Weathergirl is still very tippy! Usually her legs have to be heated up a bit and moved so that she stands better. Sometimes if it's done right she can stand fairly well.
@@StormyStrikeVideos Yeah, personally if I were in charge I wouldn't be happy handing out a bunch of surprise models that might or might not stand 😅 I'd have to test every single one, which I'm sure would be insane... I also found her to be really light weight and cheap-feeling. I remember her being super unpopular, too, tho I could be wrong. Now I feel like now I'm seeing her on people's shelves. I guess it's a fashion thing with the newer Arabian mares, her stock going up as Justadream/Make A Wish falls somewhat.... Also, I agree Susecion will likely never be sold alone. She looks too pregnant, too much like she's reaching for her newborn foal, to go it alone. She is a pretty mold, though. I have Zion and Moab (at least until I sell them, lol. Way too expensive for me to keep. But they're very pretty, imo.)
how does the online ticket work? do the models sell out extremely quick? just trying to figure out if i should buy a ticket because i’ll be in disney world so it could be difficult if they sell out within seconds. also, i know it’s limited to 2 special run, but is there a limit to buying the limited editions?
Hello! For the limited editions the limit is that you can only buy one of each for each transaction, but you can make as many transactions you like. The only Limited Edition I predict will sell out semi-quick is the best of breyerfest stablemates set. I have a feeling all the others will take a while to sell out, if they sell out at all (basing on the sells of models last year and general popularity.) The "Blue Zeus" model may sell out but Breyer recently announced they will be having it on backorder so it will still be available all weekend regardless. I don't think too much is going to sell out immediately aside from the grab bags if they have them and maybe the stablemate set (which they did make a little more of this year.) Have fun at Disney World! I'm hoping to go sometime within the next several years.
@@StormyStrikeVideos thank you so much !! this is extremely helpful. i’m definitely gonna look into an online ticket and start saving up for some of the horsies then. i’ve had breyers for years but never really considered genuinely collecting & displaying them until recently, so this will be the first breyerfest i participate in ! thank you ! i hope you can get out to disney world soon, its an absolute blast !! 🫶🏻
If it's Croi or the Mustang Mare, I'm in trouble. I believe the issue with the Mustang mare and her popularity or lack thereof when she first released as Forever Saige was her coloring/ markings. It's an optical illusion that made her look squatty. I don't think Firefly is a good candidate because she's small. I'm honestly hoping it's a mold I don't like, so I won't want them. Wixom has been used a lot.
Hoping it's a mold you don't like so you don't want it is a huge mood 😂 Honestly me this year. I hope it's a mold I'm not really crazy for so I don’t spend more money Haha
IMO the Mustang Mare/Forever Saige always looks better in person than pics. Her head/neck just look wonky when the image flattens her out. In person, though, I really adore her. People also hated on Croi initially b/c of her lip. I hope everyone's over that gripe by now, though 😂
I always look forward to the speculation video! I don't think it's going to be Saige, as she's been a prize model last year for the BCC (and I would die if its another I conga this year 😂). Originally my top guesses were Totilas, Lipizzaner mare, Strapless, and Emerson with maybe possibilities of the Andy mare and Ruffian as well.. but it's apparently been confirmed that it will be a Moody mold, so now I'm stumped. LOL But I think Goffert, Justadream, Marabella, and idk maaaaaybe the ASB stallion or Huck as a mare are good possibilities.
I completely forgot to mention that Saige was used for the BCC last year 😂 I wouldn't make that totally rule her out? but does lower her chances I think. That's a good list you've got going! I'm not sure where you heard about it being a Moody mold but there was a rumor about that going around on FaceBook a while ago that was debunked (someone got the surprise mixed up with the Christmas Gambler's Choice model.)
@@StormyStrikeVideos Oooo I thought it did! I thought when I was doing my list I didn't see where one has been used, but I probably missed something somewhere. Knowing Breyer, this will be the year they do 😂 The Moody Mold thing I heard on one of Khrysalis Studios streams. I don't think RU-vid will let me link it, but it was the really long 3 hour studio stream she had about a month ago where she had two guests and were talking about Breyerfest and Breyerwest. I think the conversation is somewhere around the end of the 1 hour mark into the 2nd. She really didn't touch into it a lot, but I'm wondering now if someone had heard something at Breyerwest and they got confused.
This is my guesses Gaming Stock Horse (Mare Version) Justadream Totallis (mare) ~~Misty (Out Due to Spokes and Spers Special Run~~ Welsh Mare ~~Trotting Arabian Mare (Out Due to being Flagship Model)~~ Lippizanner Mare Sucecion ~~Forever Sage (Due to Test Model)~~ Huckleberry Bey (If modified to be a Mare)
@@emilyfloof728 Oh right! I completely forgot about that one. I usually don't even consider the test models like that as I imagine someone just grabs something off the archive shelves semi-randomly to put up for CC test releases xD but they very well may be more deliberate about them.
@@StormyStrikeVideos yea, not really a complete removal from the list, but odds are up for question, I originally had Croi at the top before Breyerwest happened and test model showed up
Leave a like if enjoyed the video or are excited for BreyerFest! it really helps my channel out! Let me know your thoughts on what you think the surprise model will be!
I’ll give some reasons why I didn’t consider some of your options. The Standing Quarter Horse Mare- Too young to be the suprise model (I cap at least 4 years old in order to be qualified, will be viable in 2025) Emerson- wasn’t used in the last year ( I only choose models that were used within the last year in order to qualify (outside of Breyerfest special runs)) Skipping Totalis since I have them Forever Sage- her odds actually decrease due to a test model Ruffian- hasn’t been used since 2021 Strapless and Justadream are being skipped since both ladies are there Andalusian Mare- hadn’t been used since 2022 Lippi Mare and Wyatt are skipped, But hey, we at least share a similar number 1 this time
You're welcome! I wanted to make sure to get this video out before the Special Run preference forms go out next month in case it helps people make decisions on whether or not to gamble on the surprise!
I now have a copy for my unicorn stallion of my own. Got him for Mother's Day gift. So happy. He's metallic iridescent blue, green & purple striking boy.❤😊🦄
This was going to be my first breyerfest that i would attend, but im personally not super invested in the theme (nothing wrong with it! just not one i feel too strongly about) and i just havent seen a model i need to have. im slightly disappointed, but i know a lot of people do really love this theme and the corresponding models! athenian lady is gorgeous and her story is quite inspiring. I probably will not be attending. I hope everyone else has fun!!
animals I would like to see added to this game: spider monkey Andean porcupine bald eagle green anaconda honey badger golden lion tamarin barn owl black mamba Indian chameleon white-cheeked gibbon Arabian wolf coyote keel billed toucan scarlet macaw blue and yellow macaw grey crowned crane emperor penguin perentie American flamingo southern coral snake pygmy marmoset snowy owl thorny devil sand goanna Barbary macaque rockhopper penguin armadillo lizard jaguarundi Asiatic lion
Well, actually I liked that movie a lot more than Spirit Riding Free. There the animations were just fcked up as well as the storyline. But Spirit Untamed is a lil bit nearer to the original movie but will ofc never be the same and everything would be 100 times better if they just re-named Spirits son. NOT Spirit because with these creations and re-makes they are putting dirt onto the name Spirit...other than that, this movie was enjoyable
I really wanted a country or rock song with a nice western pony but oh well 😂 I also love the idea of a Barbie theme but I doubt we’ll ever see it since Barbie is also technically a model horse company. Maybe a future collab tho… 🫣
My predictions for the following DLC: Grevy's zebra Nile crocodile Hamadryas baboon Ethiopian Wolf Gerenuk Marabou American black bear White-nosed coati White-tailed deer Bighorn Sheep Wapiti (Elk) North American river otter Canadian Goose Ocelot Spider monkey Black Howler Monkey American Flamingo South American tapir Patagonian hare Tamandua European hedgehog European rabbit Holstein cow 30:01 What is the name of the song?
@@jamesbochnik1696 be they flightless, can fly, or fly but can just stay on the ground, I highly agree. More birds and maybe one more bat. The only birds we got are Common Ostrich Greater Flamingo Red Crowned Crane Southern Cassowary Emu Indian Peacock Sussex Chicken Brown Kiwi Mute Swan King Penguin African Penguin Fairy Penguin And the only bats are Egyptian Fruit Bat Spectacled Flying Fox
